Topic: NAS Detection/UpdateMedia (Read 4102 times)

if you want things to go a little smoother, (save yourself a bunch of PITA, grrr, grrr, you dumb a$$), do your editing for /etc/samba/smb.conf to include "client lanman auth = yes" and "service smbd restart", before you power up your NAS for auto-detection.

Follow your install notes. If you don't have any - write some, and follow them.

I got a NAS, which I used in a previous install with once-restructure (8.10). Now running 10.04 I wanted to reactivate the NAS, unchanged configuration, but it doesn't get detected. I modified smb.conf, restarted everything, but no change.

The NAS is connected via a gigabit Ethernet switch together with all the rest. It is configured for public access, no username, no password needed. It also uses lmce-filestructure. Software is the standard firmware from Seagate...no modifications. In theory, on would assume, that everything should be working, unfortunately once disagrees.

One other question comes to mind: when does updatemedia actually run? I'm asking, because so far I always have to manually add new files to the database or hit synchronize. I checked the status of updatemedia and it was stopped.when I start it, it will run for a while and stops again...so is there a fixed intervals, or a trigger?

The NAS simply does not get discovered. It gets an IP address from echo and I can access it from my Windows box...lmce..no go so far. However I checked for unknown devices. I will just unblock them all and hope that will kick it into gear.----------------------Update: I changed the cable on the NAS, rebooted it, threw out all unknown devices and waited. The only thing that showed up was this bogus dlink530 device...
